Pattern Recognition Company (PRC) has just unveiled a major update to its flagship program, Excire Foto 2024. Known for its futuristic image-management tools, Excire Foto 2024 has propelled photographers into a new era of image organization.
Among the features that Excire Foto is known for include a prompt-search AI that allows users to instantly retrieve images by inputting text descriptions; and an X-tetics AI that intelligently rates each image based on its aesthetic qualities. Now, thanks to enhancements included in the April 2024 update, the software makes it easier than ever to find, cull, and catalog images. With it, photographers can spend less time behind the computer and more time on their craft.
Improvements to Excire Foto 2024 include:
- New filters to sort and locate images more effectively (including an option to identify files that have not yet been analyzed by the program)
- Refinements to the Find by Keyword search selectors; users can now apply OR and NOT operations for increased precision when searching
- Extension of the text-search feature to selectable metadata so users can locate images from the file path, file description, file headline, and more
- Additional keywording features, including the option to select, copy, and paste a subset of keywords; drag-and-drop functionality when assigning keywords to photos; and automatic copying of keywords to the clipboard when performing keyword copy-paste operations
- Significant enhancements for a more streamlined duplicate-search workflow, including a duplicate statistics dialog with intuitive flagging functionality; the option to exclude photo sequences from the AI-powered Find Duplicates search; and the option to select the first photo of each duplicate-search-result cluster to save time when cleaning up folders
Minor upgrades include:
- The option to change the loading behavior for lens model metadata
- An “Invert selection” menu option
- Keyword tree multiselection
- A “Manage profiles” option in the “Renaming Profiles” dialog
- Minor bug fixes, design changes, and improvements
Importantly, the update resets the 14-day trial period. Photographers who previously tested – but did not purchase – Excire Foto 2024 can once again download a 14-day trial of the program and evaluate the software’s updated features.
For customers who already own a copy of Excire Foto 2024, the April 2024 update is complimentary. Users will be prompted to download the update package upon launching Excire Foto 2024. It is recommended that users make a catalog backup before installing the new software.
